When I was a third-year attorney in Chicago I made 70 K base and I got 50% of the fee for any workers comp case I brought in and 40% of the fee for any personal injury case I brought in. I am now an eighth year attorney. No longer in Chicago I moved to a more affordable state in the mid Atlantic 3 years ago and got a raise at new job here.
Have any of your friends in Chicago stuck with PI? Feels like the industry forces us to either open our own shop or bounce around from firm to firm.
Am on the other side, but have had friends who did. Think most common is a base (varies by firm highly) with a % of recoveries. Thinking my buddy had 10%. Trouble is these agreements were not in writing and one buddy had a boss who told him the % only applied to the first $X after my buddy had well-exceeded that amount. Another had his boss deny he was entitled to a fee at all. Ended up in litigation.
